TOP 10 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT GOD AND YOURSELF
10. God eternally existed and created everything including man, who he created in His own image, to live in perfect relation with Him, loving Him fully.
9. Man sinned, destroying this relationship and became guilty before God.
8. You are aware of your guilt. God communicates His attributes to you so you know Him. His creation reveals that you are subject to Him as your creator and His written word reveals your violation of His moral law.
7. You continue to sin against God, both by your nature and your choices. Your greatest sin is not loving God with whole heart, soul and mind. Instead you live as an idolater, loving yourself and His creation more than Him.
6. Your sin separates you from God. Sin is the cause of all pain, suffering, and destruction.
5. Your sin will be judged and you will be found guilty, incurring the penalty of eternal damnation.
4. Jesus is the God-Man who came to live a sinless life, becoming the only acceptable and perfect sacrifice for your sins. God provided a way for you to have forgiveness. That way is Jesus.
3. Jesus’ death was sufficient to pay the penalty for your sin and satisfy the eternal wrath of God which you deserve, as does all mankind. Without Jesus you will eternally pay for your sins and have no forgiveness.
2. This forgiveness is a free gift known as salvation. To receive it, you must turn from your sins and believe that Jesus’ death paid the penalty you rightly deserve.
1. Once forgiven, you will be adopted into God’s family as a son or daughter, giving you a new love for Him and restoring Him as your Prophet, Priest, and King. Believe in Jesus. Today!
